It’s not that I don’t trust, but I want to understand. What is actually happening and how do these Repack thingies work?

And why are they called that 😂

Thanks in advance.

    Repacks are only useful if your internet is from third world countries, like 100Mbps

    In Europe repacks are useless

    Edit: apparently Germany doesn’t seem to have normal speeds

      Me from Germany, living in a populated city, downspeed doesn’t get higher than 60Mbits: 💀💀💀

      You, my friend, have clearly never lived on the German countryside… I know plenty of people there who would probably kill for 100MBit/s

      They are still useful if you don’t want to source and combine releases+cracks+configurations yourself, or if you want to archive games in a space-efficient manner. I have to imagine most people installing repacks are not just doing so because they’re faster to download.
